If we allow drop-in-drop-out play, then we would need to encode some mechanism to remove inactive gods from the pool and free up their Portfolios for other players. Perhaps not doing anything IC for, say, 2 consecutive Turns without leave of absence results in that god's power fading away, such that their Portfolios can be taken, and they lose influence over worshippers.

Or simply having them leave through Mater Lei's doors. That mechanic really creates for unprecedented freedom with regards to entry and exit from the gameworld. Even for active players who grow tired of their god character, it provides a mechanism to get rid of the old and create a new god.
